How To Make A Building Corrosion Resistant in Madhya Pradesh

The biggest enemy of any RCC building or structure is corrosion, which eats it away slowly from the inside; While the outside seems fine to the casual observer, corrosion weakens the structure intrinsically, and the damage only becomes apparent when it’s too late.

How does corrosion attack RCC buildings?

Corrosion is an electrochemical process that occurs when the steel is exposed to the combined presence of moisture and oxygen. Essentially, anything made of iron – which includes steel – rusts immediately upon exposure to air and water. The speed of corrosion and its impact is directly related to how long it is exposed and the levels of moisture and air it is exposed to, which is why corrosion is most evident in tropical or coastal areas.

While Madhya Pradesh doesn’t have an extremely moisture-laden weather system, it doesn’t mean that corrosion is any less of a problem. The process is slower but equally damaging if left unchecked.

How to build lasting, corrosion-resistant structures in M.P.?

Get the best TMT steel bars from a reputable manufacturer

The first step is to build with the best quality TMT steel. TMT steel manufactured using Thermex technology is intrinsically rust-resistant, and manufacturers like 24K Sariya add copper, nickel, and chrome to the base material during manufacturing to make their TMT bars highly corrosion resistant.

You must also be sure to buy from a reputable manufacturer and dealer as they continuously check their TMT bar batches under extreme rusting conditions to ensure quality standards and also take care to keep their bars properly stored and covered after it leaves the factory.

Use correct construction practices

The second step is to ensure that the construction process leaves the TMT steel bars completely covered and watertight. Any gaps or leakage will result in rust formation on the TMT bars inside the structure and will only be discoverable when the structure weakens.

Check periodically and maintain well

Finally, regardless of how satisfied you are with the construction, it always makes sense to do regular maintenance and quality checks. Simple measures such as ensuring that standing water doesn’t collect in any part of the building or making repairs without delay can guarantee the durability of the building.

The Bottom Line

It doesn’t matter whether you are building in regions prone to rust formation or areas with less damaging environment; it is always essential to use the best quality materials and plan for the long term. It might make your budget tight, but it will be certainly worth it in the long run.
